[QUOTE="TheLordWinter, post: 4373697, member: 63181"] Sounds like quite the epic confrontation (pardon the pun!). My only thought is to maybe work the dragon in a little bit more. Perhaps instead of fighting in the final encounter though, the dragon makes the final encounter possible. Have your group fighting their way ever closer towards Orcus, their draconic companion having been driven off by monsters when they encounter an entire one of Orcus' undead legions waiting for them - perhaps the entire Exsanguinous XIII, an army of 6,000 or so vampires howling for blood and death. As the characters become surrounded and things look grim, the dragon swoops down and grabs them and flies them over the army and directly towards Orcus' throne, where the Prince of the Undead strikes it down with his wand for its impudence. The characters then have an huge battle with Orcus over and around the body of their now dead friend, all the while seeing on the horizon an unstoppable army of vampires drawing closer. Whatever you wind up doing with it, try to let the dragon serve as a prop or a set piece so that it doesn't become the star and leave the PCs with second billing. Off-Topic: Also please don't take the earlier comments on race and racism as any sort of personal attack - I certainly don't think you're a racist, it's merely an attempt to open up conversation about the history of some of the language we might take for granted without realizing it.
